  1. That’s functionally not true. If we played Purdue instead of Ohio state we would 100% be in. Like- no doubt about it. Ahead of OU and Vandy and Utah and Miami and maybe Domers. Getting ready for a home playoff game. Sure- same is true for Florida but fuck man- Sark said it and everybody in the world nodded along and said true except the densest of our fans. Florida was made to be on our schedule and OSU was a choice. but yeah- Ole Miss probably not good. When they get smoked in the playoffs the narrative will be it was about Kiffin moving on as opposed to them sort of not being great.
  2. How do you do that with 132 teams and only 12 or 13 outcomes. if the idea of college football playoffs is to collect all the teams that could plausibly win a title Texas 3-2 record with more quality wins than any team in college football needs to be in. There’s no conceivable argument against it. if it’s to reward good seasons with people that played well at their level then cool- let’s just say that too. I’m fine with either way. Just be clear that the deal is to try to get to 11-1 or 10-2 and nothing else matters and anyone who doesn’t plan accordingly is a moron who should be mocked and ridiculed. Either way is fine. if you are saying relegate the chuckle fucks of college football so that you can get to 32 programs or something that can play enough games to determine likely who the best is like the NFL that’s fine too.
  3. I’m not saying it will. Go ahead and put us at 15. Whatever. It will do incredible long term harm to the sport. September can be as meaningless in CFB as exhibition season in the NFL. If 9-3 Texas is behind 10-2 Utah who has zero quality wins then there is beyond zero reason to ever play an OOC team harder than Rutgers or Stanford or Purdue. That the world anyone wants to live in?
  4. Texas needs to be 12 after this week. Ahead of Utah and Miami and Vandy. That’s a fair ranking and values strength of schedule and quality of wins and takes into account 3 losses. If Georgia batters bama and tech beats byu the committee could justifiably move us up to 10 and everyone would/should be fine with that. If that doesn’t happen then at least they can say OOC losses to really quality teams aren’t disproportionately harmful. if we are behind Utah fuck that shit- they’ve beaten nobody and what are we even doing.
  5. Also poor aggies. Poor aggies walking down the ramp after a loss drives them homicidally angry which makes it worthwhile.
  6. Hey fuck face- if we schedule rice instead of Ohio State is Texas in at 10-2? Fuck you are dumb.
  7. So, beating 2 10-2 teams and an 11-2 doesn’t count as part of the schedule. Thats an insane standard that only a Texas fan would be myopic enough to hold their team to. Vandy, OU and aggy combined to lose 5 games- 3 of which were against Texas and you just said we had a 2 game schedule. That is insane.
  8. Sure. There will be one team pre CFP that finished unblemished. Everyone else “didn’t handle their business”. We are the only team to play 5 top 15 teams. How many teams ahead of us in the playoffs would have 3 or more losses against our schedule?. Tech lost to ASU for example. They basically beat nobody. Gun to your head what’s the line if we were playing them at the cotton bowl? Texas by 2.5 or 3.5. You think they are going better than 9-3 against our schedule? Or we’d go worse than 12-1 against theirs? Domers have 0 impressive wins. I think they are a top 10 school but you just can’t say they had a more accomplished season with us. Georgia and Ohio state are the class of college football I think. Indiana has a chance to prove they are but I think when they run into superior athletes Ohio state chokes them out. Beyond that I think Texas has the 3rd highest ceiling in college football all and something like the 20th highest floor. Theres a lot of dichotomy there. top 10 teams from watching an assload of football are probably OSU, Georgia, Indiana, Texas, Domers, ole Miss, tech, Oregon, Miami and maybe Bama. That’s my 10 in no particular order. No OU and no aggy.
  9. So, not beating one of the top 2 teams in the country means you shouldn’t be in a 12 team playofff. Cool cool cool. I think there’s maybe 4 teams in the country that might split that duo. Especially considering both were on the road.
  10. It’s so fucking stupid that anyone can say hurt durr Florida and try to hand wave away the reason we aren’t in the playoffs is bc we scheduled Ohio State instead of rice.
  11. They also said they won’t penalize teams for scheduling really tough OOC games but here we are.
  12. Nope. Top 5 conference champs are in. No guarantee from any one conference.
  13. Maybe if Georgia wins by 50 and breaks Ty Simpson in half or something. Fucking OU beating bama and walking through raindrops. That’s a shitty fucking OU team to go 10-2. My goodness.
  14. I’d love to schedule that way. It would be so much fun. The second the committee says a 8-4 Texas that plays 9 sec games and 3 blue bloods is in the playoffs we should totally do that. But, life is stupid so, yeah, we probably shouldn’t.
  15. We can play Purdue or Rutgers instead of Michigan or Ohio state. Same same. Correct.
  16. I wouldn’t hate that. Home games until final 4.
  17. Yeah I nailed it you fucking room temperature IQ idiot. It was a probabilistic post that had every fucking thing lined up ahead of time and focused on what mattered and what didn’t. That’s still what matters and what doesn’t. Basically boiled down to about a 35% chance Michigan, OU or USC would go 10-2 and we’d be out, or if they didn’t we’d be in (thus the 65% chance). And that’s exactly how it’s going to play out regardless of results, unless we get an unlikely outcome like 9-3 Domers or 9-3 bama.
  18. Cool. Ignore me. I’ve had this nailed from the second I put the post up and been right throughout. You and many others have been wrong saying 9-3 has no chance. Or we need massive chaos. We didn’t. We just needed those dickheads from bama to beat OU. Now, since they didn’t we need an unlikely but not improbable outcome. Either bama or OU losing to talented but flawed teams while Ohio State takes out the trash.
  19. Not remotely close to true. We need two things: Ohio state win and bama or OU loss. Everything else is nice to have but completely unnecessary.
  20. No fucking shit? If you win all your games you are in? Huh. 1 team at most will have done that at the end of this year. So, all teams will have not “handled their business” and the people will have to chose the best 12. Make them do their job. We did enough that we should be in. Period. Full stop.
  21. Yep. And when that happens the people who have triple digit IQ’s on this board will say the thread title was correct (I said probably after all) and we can blame OU beating Bama for being first out. I just didn’t think OU had any chance at getting to 10-2. The basic premise was always that the SEC was likely to get 5 teams in and a 9-3 Texas was going to be in the top 5 of the SEC. OU winning at Bama changed that. my only hope is that they sort of suck like we all think they do and ball don’t lie and they lose to a more talented LSU. But pretty sure those else retsrdw have completely quit, so, yeah.
  22. We hadn’t beaten aggy yet. We won’t be behind them come Tuesday. Or whenever they release it. Be interesting to see if a shitty bama win over Auburn and then a pantsing by Georgia in the title game could get us to jump them. Our overall profile would be stronger imo. But hard to believe they’d leave SEC champ game loser out under any circumstances.
  23. ESPN/disney/Fox could all be losing out on 100’s of millions over the life of the schedule if everyone cancels their blue blood games. This is a TV show at the end of the day.
  24. Nah. We are in ahead of Vandy I bet. I also bet they lose but whatever. I mean, probably not.
  25. Sark said it perfectly. It’s completely and totally logical. If we are 10-2 it’s not even a consideration, we are in. We played them closer than anyone else. If we are left out who will ever schedule another tough game OOC? Just a terrible precedent to set. I think we need a loss by OU, Bama or Domers tomorrow and Tech to win the big 12 convincingly and we have a better case than anyone else to be in there. SEC should get 5 teams in. Need OU or Bama loss and we should be the 5th. Georgia and Ohio State finishing 1/2 in the final rankings should also be helpful. OU not losing to bama really really really hurt.
